Tennessee Williams New Orleans Literary festival

While you may have heard some buzz about the Tennessee Williams New Orleans Literary festival you will want to read some of the facts that make it one of the most loved events in the greatest city in the nation!

Read below for the top 8 reasons you don’t want to miss out on the fun and excitement at this great event! The Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival was founded in 1986 by a group of local citizens who shared a common desire to celebrate the regionâ€™s rich cultural heritage. From an ambitious start with 500 audience members enjoying two daysâ€™ entertainment, attendance has increased to the 10,000 audience seats filled in 2011 for our 25th anniversary and five days of programming. The Festivalâ€™s mission is threefold: to serve the community through educational, theatrical, literary, and musical programs; to nurture, support, and showcase regional, national, and international writers, actors, musicians, and other artists; and to honor the creative genius of Tennessee Williams, who considered this city his spiritual home.
